Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Shi Luyu's face flushed, and she instantly understood what he meant.

She felt like she was on fire. She was so angry that she wanted to escape, but he held her firmly down, so she could only turn her face away, her ears turning bright red.

Xu Yuanjia's smile deepened as he looked at her.

As he spoke, he cupped the back of her head with one hand, looking down at her, "See for yourself, your brother hasn't even started yet."

Exuberant and full of potential, poised to take off.

Indeed, he had just finished eating.

Literally, with the mouth.

Now that our appetites are satisfied, let's move on to the rest.

The male protagonist raised his hand, his fingertips lingering on the hem of her orange T-shirt, like a fish swimming inside.

Immediately, her long fingers flicked out a clear, bright sound, and the hidden clasp tightly binding her from behind was easily popped open.

"Ah!" Shi Luyu shivered instinctively. "So cold, your hands..."

"Tsk, little pampered brat." Xu Yuanjia had no choice but to step back and reach out to grab her hand.

Shi Luyu instinctively tried to pull back, but he slowly held her with his five fingers.

The man's hands were long and slender with distinct joints, the veins on the back of his hands were clearly defined, and his palms were surprisingly warm.

With a gentle wrap, her entire hand was encased inside.

Compared to his, her hands seemed too small, her fingers delicate and soft, white, nestled in his palm—the contrast was astonishing.

Xu Yuanjia squeezed his knuckles between her fingers, separated them little by little, and then slowly and deliberately tightened them again.

The feeling of their fingers intertwined made Shi Luyu very uncomfortable. She curled her fingertips, but couldn't pull them apart no matter what she did.

Her palms were damp, and her fingers were soft. Compared to his steady, composed, and almost maliciously playful movements, she seemed far too easy to bully.

"Goodness, you only have so little stamina."

Xu Yuanjia leaned down and kissed her ear, his voice muffled and deep, "Where else do you think you can run to?"

"Hmm..." Shi Luyu tried to turn her head away.

The warm, moist breath lingered around her ear, brushing against her skin intermittently, making her nerves tense.

Shi Luyu was completely trapped in this cramped space.

With nowhere left to retreat, his palms were also entangled and pressed down, and even the degree to which his fingers curled could not escape his perception.

Her shoulders ached from the tension, her back tingled, and the panic in her chest had nowhere to go but to seep out through her bones with a slight tremor.

This feeling was terrible, as if all her current embarrassment, all her loss of control, and every inch of her reactions that were beyond her control were being held firmly in his palm.

At this moment, Xu Yuanjia seemed to suddenly remember something.

He chuckled and said, "However, since you're in such a good mood and want to play with your brother..."

"Then let's go."

Shi Luyu's mind was still a bit foggy, and upon hearing this, she reacted a beat slow: "Come, come what...?"

Her voice was hoarse, and when she asked the question, it trembled slightly without her realizing it.

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her, his words slowly spilling out, carrying a hint of mockery, a hint of reminder, and his unique mischievousness.

The rain outside the window hasn't stopped.

The rain in the mountains was heavier than in the city, falling densely on the terrace and eaves, the sound of water blending together. Occasionally, a breeze would sweep in from the depths of the woods, causing the branches and leaves to rustle, and large, dark shadows of trees to sway gently outside the French windows.

Only one lamp was lit beside the bed in the bedroom.

Warm yellow light fell from behind Xu Yuanjia's shoulders, outlining his sharp jawline and high nose bridge, and making his eyes under his brow bone appear even deeper. His clothes were slightly wrinkled, and his collar was loose, but he still looked calm, even a little lazy, as if the current competition was just a pastime for him.

"Truth or dare," he lazily reminded him.

"You want to play."

Upon hearing these words, Shi Luyu suddenly snapped out of her daze for a moment.

Correct.

She brought this up on her own initiative.

She herself said she wanted to take another gamble, to gamble with the truth.

But when the moment actually came, she felt incredibly regretful.

Because she suddenly realized that Xu Yuanjia's greatest skill wasn't playing cards, but manipulating people's hearts. What difference was there between presenting him with the truth and handing him a knife?

The blade may still leave marks.

But he's different.

He always managed to force out her deepest, most hidden thoughts, thoughts that she herself dared not even look at closely, when she was least prepared.

She pursed her lips, her eyes flickering slightly.

A faint, cold light suddenly flashed past the window, and distant thunder rumbled low over the mountain ridge. That fleeting glimmer of light caught Xu Yuanjia's eye, then quickly vanished, leaving only a calm and patient scrutiny.

Xu Yuanjia, however, seemed to have seen through her thoughts completely. He raised his hand and hooked her chin, making her turn her face back.

His fingertips were unusually warm, and though his movements were light, they carried an unavoidable air. Shi Luyu was forced to meet his gaze, and her already unstable emotions became even more difficult to conceal.

"What?" He squinted at her, scrutinizing her.

"Regret it?"

Shi Luyu felt a tightness and turmoil in her chest as he stared at her, yet she had to force herself to remain composed. She remained silent for a moment, then finally whispered:

"Who wants to ask first?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuanjia smiled and said, "Lulu suggested it."

When he laughed, the corners of his eyes lowered slightly, making his already striking face appear somewhat frivolous. Yet his expression remained indifferent, and his smile was not deep, as if he were simply handing her the choice casually.

"Of course you go first."

Shi Luyu was taken aback.

She had assumed that someone like Xu Yuanjia would have the reins firmly in his hands. But the way he was acting now seemed to be indulging her, giving in to her, and even waiting to see what other tricks she could pull.

But the more she was like this, the less she dared to relax.

What Xu Yuanjia gives away is never truly without a price. Even if it's just a brief concession, there might already be another trap laid behind it.

This feeling is dangerous.

The danger was so great that the vague idea that had been forming in her mind quietly resurfaced.

If he really will.

If she could gradually figure out his methods...

Shi Luyu's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes involuntarily became more serious.

She stared at him for a long time, so long that Xu Yuanjia raised an eyebrow slightly. "Have you made up your mind?"

He didn't urge her, but simply waited for her with his eyes lowered. His long, slender fingers casually rested on the side of her neck, his fingertips occasionally brushing slowly against a small patch of skin; the seemingly insignificant movement was all the more tantalizing.

Shi Luyu's breathing became lighter.

She knew she couldn't waste this opportunity.

Asking questions that are too superficial will only close the cracks that were painstakingly pried open again. Asking questions that are too sharp may immediately put Xu Yuanjia on alert.

Her mind raced, and she finally settled on one question.

"You were at the gambling table just now."

She looked at him, her voice still soft but clear, "Why did you deliberately go easy on me?"

Xu Yuanjia seemed genuinely surprised to hear this.

Surprisingly, her first question wasn't "Will you let me go?" or "How long do you intend to keep me trapped?", but rather... this kind of question.

He glanced at her for a moment, as if reassessing what she truly wanted tonight.

The man was silent for two seconds, then suddenly smiled, "Lulu."

His teasing words splashed onto her skin, "You were really eager to learn tonight."

Shi Luyu's chest sank slightly, but she still tried her best to remain calm, not even letting her eyes waver.

"I'm just asking questions," she emphasized.

"Mmm," Xu Yuanjia replied casually, "Brother was just praising you."

Shi Luyu did not respond.

She knew he had noticed she was observing him. But he didn't point it out; instead, he let her continue, and that was the most unsettling part.

Xu Yuanjia reached out and brushed aside her slightly messy hair, his movements even bordering on patient.

A few strands of dark hair slipped through his fingers and fell back to her cheek. He gently tucked them behind her ear, but his gaze remained fixed on her face, as if to see how long she could hide.

"Because I can tell you want to learn."

He said this in a tone so indifferent it was almost indulgent: "If we don't hold back at all, it will be over in three sets."

"How can I continue to let you have your way?" he said, kissing her shoulder and biting down with his teeth.

"Observe your brother," he said.

"Ouch...it hurts..." Shi Luyu turned her head away, her brows furrowed, and she was trembling uncontrollably.

Xu Yuanjia loosened his grip slightly, but did not immediately back down. He simply chuckled softly, "So Lulu, remember this well."

Shi Luyu bit her lip, and after a long while asked, "Remember what?"

"Your brother is willing to give you a chance." He raised his eyes, his tone casual, "but he can also take it back at any time."

The room was quiet, but the sound of rain outside seemed to intensify. The raindrops pattered against the glass, making his words all the more clear.

Even amidst the chaos, she could still figure it out; this was the answer.

Moreover, it's a very important answer.

He will drain the water. He will teach her.

They might even quietly push the path forward a little when she's learning too slowly.

This realization was enough to make the dangerous thought in her mind clearer.

Since he is willing to teach, she can learn.

As for what he was really thinking—whether he wanted to see her struggle or to catch her back when she thought she was about to escape—it didn't matter for the time being.

All she needs to do is grasp what she can learn first.

"It's my turn." Xu Yuanjia loosened his grip slightly at this moment, looked down at her stunned expression, and spoke slowly.

Shi Luyu immediately snapped back to reality, her nerves tensing up once more.

The overly serious look in her eyes hadn't completely faded, and Xu Yuanjia had already seen it clearly. He gently pressed his fingertips against her lower lip, his eyes filled with inquiry and a hint of knowing-it-all interest.

"Lulu." The man leaned closer to her, his nose almost brushing against her ear, but his tone was very soft.

"You were so proactive tonight."

The wind outside the window swept through the forest, the treetops making a constant rustling sound. Inside the bedroom, however, it was eerily quiet, as if even the slightest noise had been shut out by the glass.

Shi Luyu slowly closed her fingers, which were hanging at her sides.

Xu Yuanjia did not miss it.

"Is it just because you want a chance to escape, or is it because..."

He paused, the smile in his eyes deepening slightly. He didn't say anything, only letting out a lazy, heavy "Hmm?"
